As to the first point – viz. no reporting – first let us here
what authority custom says – under her various variety of alias names
precedent, custom, usage. Under favour of this introduction Introduced by him or her,
Reason may stand some faint chance howsoever faint, of obtaining
a hearing in the second place.

The practice thus marked for introduction is an abuse
which out of the Court of Session an example will scarcely be
to be found.

1. In the judicial establishment system of Scotland it is without a parallel.

Now of Throughout the whole of the judicial establishment
of Scotland to none of the inferior judicatories is it allowed permitted
to decide the a cause or send it off up without decision, as they
please: not t the Sheriff Deputes Court not to the Sheriff Deputes Substitutes Courts?: not to the Borough Courts,
not to the Dean of Guild's Courts, not to the Barony Courts: not to the
Commissaries Courts, national or provincial; not to the Admiralty
or Vice Admiralty Courts.

Among this, the Sheriff Depute's Courts claim particularly
notice. Like the Lord Ordinary's Courts, these are all single-seated
judicatories.

Of the causes suits instituted in the Court of Session, the
greater part might have been instituted in the Court of
Sheriff's Court. Causes the same not only in specie but
in value as those which are instituted in the Court of Session
may be and are in great abundance instituted in the Court
Sheriffs Deputes of the Sheriff Depute. To a The Sheriff Depute is not
allowed to decide or not to decide, at his pleasure at pleasure – why
should a Lord Ordinary?
